1 Peter 5:1
I know what it's like to be a leader, in on Christ's sufferings as well as the coming glory.

The coming glory… Glory will come much later but there won’t be glory now.

1 Peter 5:1-3
I know what it's like to be a leader, in on Christ's sufferings as well as the coming glory. 2 Here's my concern: that you care for God's flock with all the diligence of a shepherd. Not because you have to, but because you want to please God. Not calculating what you can get out of it, but acting spontaneously. 3 Not bossily telling others what to do, but tenderly showing them the way.

1 Peter 4:18
18 If good people barely make it, What's in store for the bad?

If good people barey make it…l

To me, what I’m experiencing right now is not at all as important as what I’ll experience forever and forever is not just a long time-it is never ending.

Humans put a HUGE importance on impressing other humans but there isn’t much if any importance among humans on impressing God. Other humans may supply you with things on Earth but that only counts on Earth and God can give you things on Earth AND in Heaven. So the choice is yours, is Heaven important to you? It’s more important to me.

1 Peter 1:23
Your new life is not like your old life. Your old birth came from mortal sperm; your new birth comes from God's living Word.

1 Peter 1:17-19
Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God. 18 It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in. 19 He paid with Christ's sacred blood, you know.


Not just a journey to make money & get the appreciation of others...
